Abstract
Most Web Content is nowadays published with Content Management Systems (CMS). As outlined in this paper, existing tools lack some functionalities to create and manage multilingual composite documents efficiently. In another domain, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) published the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) to lay the foundation for cataloguing documents and their various versions, translations and formats, setting the focus on the intellectual work. Using the FRBR concepts as guidelines, we introduce a treebased model to describe relations between a digital document's various versions, translations and formats. Content negotiation and relationships between documents at the highest level of the tree allow composite documents to be rendered according to a user's preferences (e.g. language, user agent...). The proposed model has been implemented and validated within the Sydonie framework, a research and industrial project. Sydonie implements our model in a CMSlike tool to imagine new ways to create, edit and publish multilingual composite documents. © Copyright 2010 ACM.
